About Dolphins Hotel
Dolphins Hotel suits travellers after a no-fuss base close to the sea rather than a resort experience with extras. Set on Tregonwell Road, it's within easy reach of both Bournemouth town centre and the seafront, making it a practical choice for a short coastal break, a family stay, or a weekend away with a dog in tow, as pets are welcome here.
Rooms are clean and comfortable, with spacious en-suite bathrooms and family rooms available for those travelling with children. Breakfast is served each morning, and drinks can be brought to the room, while free WiFi and 24 hour reception cover the practical side of things. Staff are noted for being friendly and helpful, and free on-site parking and an electric vehicle charge point add convenience for those arriving by car.
Outside the hotel, there's plenty to fill the days: golf, fishing and watersports are all nearby, along with walking and cycling routes for those who prefer to explore on foot or by bike. Pubs, restaurants and entertainment are within easy reach too, and the competitive pricing makes it a sensible option for guests who want a comfortable, well-located stay without paying over the odds.

What guests say
The owners are great people, they make you feel very welcome. Room is basic , but clean and comfortable bed. Bathroom is spacious and clean. Location is close ,5 min away from the park, the only inconvenience was, the steep road to the hotel, but that is a" me problem ". If you are ok with steep streets, than there are no real issues. It is also located on a very quiet street, so you will not get disturbed from the outside noise.

I strongly advise against this place. I regret trusting reviews when my grand floor room was completely unhygienic. The entire bathroom was mouldy. The carpet had a terrible smell and the neighbourhood was incredibly noisy. The owner was also incredibly rude. I wish I hadn’t spent time and money there for a rest. The only option was a fridge but they turn it off so you’ll need to clean it first as it’s mouldy and smelly.

Host Lena and her husband were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. My room was spacious, airy and well equipped. Not the most modern decor but immaculately clean and tidy. There was a fridge in my room which was a bonus. Location was great for the BIC and the beach which were 6-7 minutes walk away. I would definitely stay there again.
